Patent number: 6157189Abstract: Methods and apparatus for testing a magnetic disk and a read head are provided. A reference track is written on the magnetic disk. The read head is scanned laterally with respect to the reference track while the magnetic disk is rotating. The reference track is sensed with the read head as the read head is scanned across the reference track to produce a scanned read signal that is representative of disk and read head performance. The scanned read signal may be processed to provide parameters such as track average amplitude, signal-to-noise ratio, and pulse width of write transitions.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1998Date of Patent: December 5, 2000Assignee: Intevac, Inc.Inventors: Dennis C. Stark, Yuriy Belov, Edmond Sardariani

Patent number: 5317505Abstract: The user controller for a video game has a set of auxiliary buttons from which a user may input requests to store, request and execute stored sequences of user playing button settings. The auxiliary buttons are programmable and could be assigned to arbitrary special moves matching the needs of different games or of different stages of one game. The controller can store any arbitrary sequence of user play button settings to relieve the user from having to repeat inputting the sequence. The user may also add to a stored sequence during execution on the fly to form a merged sequence which may be stored. The controller also permits the user to override a stored sequence during execution. Special moves possible include a sequence of fast paced reproductions of predetermined moves. The controller also disregards unintended idle settings to provide more realistic rendition of stored sequences.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1990Date of Patent: May 31, 1994Inventors: Raznik Karabed, Siamack Nemazie, Edmond Sardariani
